I'd like to have one summary template to use on the homepage and then another to use on my actual news page which will contain all articles. I'm pointing the detail page of the news page at itself so when you click on a summary on the news page, it'll show in that same page.
I see where you can add a template under "Summary Templates" in the admin, but not sure where i 'bind' it to my actual database template.
News Module - can i have more than one summary template?
Re: News Module - can i have more than one summary template?
you don't "bind" it to any particular page template. You determine the summary (or detail) template when you call the module.
i.e.
{cms_module module="News" summarytemplate="whatever" otherparameters="values"}
This means that you could call News twice in the same page/template, and use different summary templates each time.
If you don't specify a template, the module uses the template marked as Default in the module admin panel.
